Lyrics


1. NIGHTSHADES

When the ivy puts out tendrils into the sky
And the sea is painted like the forthcoming night
The flowers have languished like a weeping willow
Only the ivy is the wisdom of this night

Breathing the blue feel the wisdom inside of you
The message is the embrace of the night
The flowers have languished like a weeping willow
And the sea is painted like the forthcoming night

We are enchanted by the nightshades
Melancholy is fading away

I feel strange when someone embraces me
Like the woe grows in me
Windless like the fields of ice
The foretaste of melancholy’s return

We stare at the moonlight
The acrimony of the wintriness
We languish in the ice
Embrace of the nightshades


2. MERCENARY (DOGS OF WAR)

Dogs of war – march to die
Dogs of war – no reason why

The battle is over – death and blood remains
Soldiers marching further – the enemy enslaved

No mercy for survivors – they won’t take prisoners
Killing as professionals – mercenary’s life

Dogs of war – march to die
Dogs of war – no reason why

Hell open wide – unleash the dogs of war
Signed and sealed – deliverer of oblivion

Dealing with death of the hard cash
They will take and you will give
And you must die so that they can live
Winners can lose and things get strange


3. FATAL HARMONY

Please stay here beside
- ‘til I feel our hearts collide
Pray that time can heal
- the bleeding wounds I feel

Like autumn flowers
You withered away
Bright shining colours
Fade to shades of grey

In a state of emptiness alone
I sit and cry
Memories hurt so deep
As I see the time goes by

If I could turn back time
To the days when you where mine
I would give you all I feel
I would make our dreams come so real


4. IN PEACE

There is no one here to call
And shadows will never fall
Can you hear me calling in the night
“Stay by my side?”

We were on a high promenade
And we thought about what they call lust

We stare at the moon and at the skies
And we live in peace and forever

Time does not heal the wounds
But let them forget?
A new star is born to take us back


5. FOREVER

For I am the voice in your darkest dream
We have arrived at the end
And now my friend look what we got
You will sink into despair
I will be your destiny

Take a look into a different world
Forget your name and lose your will
Merge with me as one
To a world beyond belief
Take my hand and follow me

Forever – I control your mind

Forever – I am your destiny

Forever – I will rule your life

Forever – you will follow me

I fill your head with dreams
I keep your sleep in peace
Hold your future in my hands
I am the way to promised land

My life was empty and so I was empty and so I was drifting high and low
Now that you came into my life I’m released from pain and sorrow


6. FRAGRANCE

I smell the fragrance of my love passed by
Feel emotions of the affection
I close my eyes
I see lovers full of devotion

I feel your breath surrounding me
I close my eyes and kiss you

I am abandoned and all alone
Winds have confused my mind
All that remains are remembrances
And emotions of my love passed by

When the moon shines – our way
All that remains – are remembrance
the emotions and the fragrance


7. AUTUMN RAIN

The ashes of the letters are lying on the ground
She watches the candle’s dying light and forgets
what she has found
She has lost the pleasure of her life
Searching for the water in which she may die

She is longing for the autumn rain to cover her with
dreams
But she can’t reach the stars above with broken
wings
She has lost the pleasure of her life
Searching for the water in which she dies

Watching the light
- refusing to cry
Tries to survive
- regenerate

Paralyzed watching the light
- refusing to cry
Tries to survive the time
- regenerate


8. TOO LATE

In the light of the fading candle
I listen to your voice
You said it was a game
And you have to leave me now
The words hurt deep so deep
And tear my soul into pieces
When I hear your goodbye
It echoes in my mind

It’s too late
Too late for tear
It’s too late
Too late to start again
It’s too late
Too late for you and me

Lost emotions of a love passed by
Lost reflections in my mind’s eye
Feel the fire in my heart still burn
Every time the memories return
I would like to hate you for your lies
But my love won’t end I realize
Feel the fire in my heart still burn
Every time the memories return
I would like to hate you for your lies
But my love won’t end I realize


9. GOD OF LIES

I am the god of your lies
Dreams and reality are just the same

I am the god of your history – miraculous
But only a game – I am your god

All the lies in the sky – I sink
I am blessed – I am blind – I am the king

I hope some things would never have changed

For I see the light of your love
And it dies in your eyes
That is why we learn of history
Stopped by the magic ones

To see the hate in your eyes – miraculous
But only a game

A deep slumber embraces my heart
A deep slumber absorbs my mind

I am the master of your history
I am the master of all histories
